P. MULLER PROTECTIVE HOLDER Filed Aug. 8, 1927 Patented Mar. 11, 1930 UNITED STATES PAUL Mll TLLER, OF SOLINGEN, GERMANY PROTECTIVE HOLDER Application filed August 8, 19. 37, Serial No. 211,594, and in Germany March 26, 1927.

The invention concerns a protective holder for hollow ground permanent blades with thick backs, for safety razors, as generally known.

5 Hitherto such blades have been kept without protection in the slots of the cabinet or outfit box and were therefore readily liable to damage.

As most shavers employ seven permanent blades which in order to facilitate the use of the blades in rotation for the daily shave, are stamped on the backs, with the day of the week, the invention aims to provide a protective holder which securely protects the fine blade edges from damage in the slots of the box and further enables the name of the day to be read without removing the blades from the holder.

This problem is completely solved by the new protective holder.

A constructional example of the subject of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the holder with the blade,

Fig. 2 a front elevation with the blade,

Fig. 3 a plan with blade removed,-and

Fig. 4 a view of the box with seven protective holders.

The protective holder has the form of a U- shaped clamp 1. The limbs 2 grip the blades on both sides and extend beyond the cutting edge 3 thereof and protect the latter on all sides safely from any damage, projections for example being formed on the holder to grip. the blade.

The day of the week may be observed through the window-like opening 4 in the back of the clamping lever without removing the blade.

I claim:

1. An assembly comprising a hollow ground single edged razor blade having a thick back, and a holder consisting of a U- shaped clamp the limbs of which are provided with edges on their opposing sides bearing against opposing sides of the blade, spacing the free ends of the said limbs apart and clamping the blade in place, said limbs being of greater width than the razor blade PAUL MULLER.
